Why people recommend it
Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín is a celebrated novel about a young Irish immigrant navigating homesickness, romantic choices, and a dual identity in 1950s New York and her native village. On an episode of The Book Review titled Colm Toibin on His Sequel to Brooklyn, guest Sarah Lyall referenced the original 2009 novel to provide essential context for the discussion of its sequel, Long Island. Meanwhile, in the episode Inside The New York Times Book Review: The Defender, guest Greg Coles mentioned the book's ongoing popularity and its position on the bestseller lists, noting its role as the foundation for the acclaimed film adaptation. In another episode titled Inside The New York Times Book Review: City of Thorns, guest Alexandra Alter and host Pamela Paul discussed screen adaptations of prominent literary works, with Paul expressing her admiration for the film version and noting that it inspired her to pick up the book itself. Together, these conversations highlighted the enduring cultural footprint of Tóibín's narrative, celebrating how a quiet story of migration and displacement resonated widely across both the literary world and cinematic adaptations.
